| Beschrijving voorzijde | Central field bearing a multi-line Persian legend in Nastaliq script, largely running off the flan due to the small planchet size. The inscription reads the imperial titulature of Mughal Emperor Shah Alam II: 'Sikka zad bar haft kishwar saya fazl Ilah Hami ud-din Muhammad Shah Alam Badshah,' meaning 'Struck in the seven climes, shadow of divine favour, defender of the religion of Muhammad, Shah Alam, Emperor.' An AH regnal date appears within the legend. The design is characteristic of late Mughal hammered coinage, with the text arranged in horizontal registers across the coin's surface. |

| Aanvullende informatie |
Shah Alam II was the Mughal emperor in name; by 1765 he had granted the Diwani — revenue collection rights over Bengal, Bihar, and Orissa — to the East India Company following the Battle of Buxar. The Company then struck coins in his name for decades, a legal fiction that masked the complete transfer of fiscal authority. KM#80.3 is one of several die variants within this broad issue, distinguished by minor differences in the regnal year notation.
